linux.git/net/mac80211/ethtool.c, branch v3.18 Linux kernel source tree cfg80211: make ethtool the driver's responsibility 2014-06-23T09:05:33+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2014-06-04T15:31:56+00:00 b7ffbd7ef6751f6cde73082346e365738daf00d2 Currently, cfg80211 tries to implement ethtool, but that doesn't really scale well, with all the different operations. Make the lower-level driver responsible for it, which currently only has an effect on mac80211. It will similarly not scale well at that level though, since mac80211 also has many drivers. To cleanly implement this in mac80211, introduce a new file and move some code to appropriate places. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> 
Currently, cfg80211 tries to implement ethtool, but that doesn't
really scale well, with all the different operations. Make the
lower-level driver responsible for it, which currently only has
an effect on mac80211. It will similarly not scale well at that
level though, since mac80211 also has many drivers.

To cleanly implement this in mac80211, introduce a new file and
move some code to appropriate places.
